We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"It's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"The most valuable features in Pure Storage FlashArray are deduplication and active cluster."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"Data deduplication is one feature I found to be the most valuable in the tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Excellent and efficient support, and the product is a good price."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"The support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"If your virtual machine that resides on it completely fills the storage space, thanks to it's built-in function of all-zero data space reclamation, you just have to ask to System Engineer to run a zero-free on hosts (thin provisioned) and you will get more space instantaneously."
"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"Acropolis AOS's networking concept is excellent."
"The virtualization environment is now much easier to manage and maintain, there is only one vendor to call in case of issues and one single console to manage everything."
"What's best about Nutanix Acropolis AOS is its simplicity. It's simple to install and simple to understand. The technical support and support portal for this product are both very good and very helpful."
"Karbon is a must-have as it drastically simplifies the deployment of Kubernetes."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"It has been stable so far."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its software Move, which we use to migrate virtual info from another platform to the Nutanix platform."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"Unfortunately, this product doesn't support Flash Disks, but it's IOPS capacity is a great compromise."
"CFS integration is one area where OceanStor has some room for improvement. The CFS on OceanStor is dedicated, so it's not integrated with the existing active directory domain."
"The upgrading process needs improvement. Deploy it and notify the customers when new versions and stuff comes out. I don't think they're doing that well."
"The tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"While the customer support is truly incredible, for Spanish speakers it would be appropriate to have support in their native language to further improve problem-solving conditions."
"It would be ideal if it was more secure."
"I think some of the tasks that must be done using CLI could be added to the web interface."
"The latency needs improvement"
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult."
"I'm not very technical, so I don't know if there are any features that are really lacking. Our customers seem pleased with it, and I haven't heard of any downsides."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
